                               RESOLUTION


 
     Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2149) to reduce 
  regulation, promote efficiencies, and encourage competition in the 
  international ocean transportation system of the United States, to 
   eliminate the Federal Maritime Commission, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2149) to reduce 
regulation, promote efficiencies, and encourage competition in the 
international ocean transportation system of the United States, to 
eliminate the Federal Maritime Commission, and for other purposes. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall 
be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to 
consider the amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative 
Shuster of Pennsylvania or his designee. That amendment shall be 
considered as read, may amend portions of the bill not yet read for 
amendment, shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order 
against that amendment for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI 
are waived. If that amendment is adopted, the bill, as amended, shall 
be considered as the original bill for the purpose of further 
amendment. The bill, as amended, shall be considered by title rather 
than by section. The first section and each title shall be considered 
as read. During further consideration of the bill for amendment, the 
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in 
recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment 
has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so 
printed shall be considered as read. The amendment printed in part 2 of 
the report of the Committee on Rules shall be considered as read, may 
amend portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, shall not be 
subject to an amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. 
At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions.
